Tropical Carrot Side Dish

Side Dishes

18 Apr

This side dish is a little different and if I hadn’t tasted it, it might look a little….um…interesting to me. Can I just tell you that it was SO GOOD!!! 

We go to dinner about every other Sunday at my grandparent’s house. Sunday dinner with my extended family has been a tradition since I was young, and something my whole family missed a lot when we moved to Texas when I was in 6th grade. It was no nice when I came back to Utah to go to college because even though my family still lived in Texas, I got to go to Sunday dinner at my grandparents house and have a piece of home with me. This is still one of my favorite things to do and something I look forward to literally all week.

A few weeks ago my mom made this delicious carrot side dish that is healthy but tasted like dessert! I’m not kidding. I don’t have an exact recipe because she just threw it together. This side dish is very forgiving though, and I don’t think you could go wrong with the amounts of each ingredient you put in. You can customize it based on the amount of people you are feeding.

What you’ll need:

Shredded carrots 
Shredded sweetened coconut
Crushed pineapple (drain it first and add a little bit of the juice to the mix at the end)
Pina colada-flavored yogurt

Mix in the desired amount of each ingredient and you have yourself a delicious tropical-tasting side dish. This is a perfect side dish for Easter this Sunday, or any time! The next time I’m craving something sweet but want to stick with a healthier option, I think I’ll make this as a snack too.

I posted this the other day on my IG stories and s I posted this the other day on my IG stories and so many of you were like, “😅 Good to hear!!” So I’ll say it again for those of you who need it.

My twins are almost 5 (in July) and it is SO.MUCH.EASIER 😭 at this age 🤣🤣🤣 Tyler and I actually cannot even believe it. Traveling with them is actually 100% FUN and not 100% exhausting like it was before 😂

So...if you need to hear it...you’ve got this. You’ll make it through the insane toddler stage.

Every day is a gift AND it’s really hard and I’m here to tell you that it gets SO MUCH EASIER! 👏🏻

JUST BECAUSE IT’S HARD DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GRATEFUL!

To all the twin moms who came before me and said 5 was easier, you were right. And thank you 😂 #twinmom #momoftwins
“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plan “Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” - Horace

For me, one of the best things in the world about being a mom is that they help me to remember the things I once knew, but forgot. Being fully present and accepting what is in the moment, being silly, getting SO EXCITED, and seeing the world with magic.

We all knew these things once. We just forgot a little. 💗💙 #parcellsundayselfie 4/11/21

What is your favorite thing you’ve learned from the beautiful children in your life?
The best part of this phase of life with little ki The best part of this phase of life with little kids is it’s like Team Parcell, you know? Our little group. We can go anywhere and do anything together and just be so happy and grateful that it’s us 4 together. 😭

This is what I want for all who want it. It’s why I absolutely love teaching the tools I do over at @thesliceofsun for women with infertility. They allow you peace of mind in this really hard trial. Why I LOVE you and understand those of you who are in the thick of it so much.

Feeling so grateful for the people in my life including all of you. What a wonderful world 🌎 #lovethesepeople #familyvacations

Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY I want to learn so much more about my Savior as I get older and I’ve decided it’s because I need Him more.

Children don’t have the voice of the adversary in their ears all the time. We do.

My Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ SAVES me from the chaos. He is the peace where it doesn’t make sense for peace to exist.

He knows me and cares for me with a perfect love. The only thing I can slightly compare it to is the love I have for my children. A love so big that forgiveness is possible over and over...and over again.

A love so big He was willing to give His life so we could be saved.

I’ll never be able to repay that debt but I’ll spend every day I have in gratitude and use His atonement that He made for me. For each of us. It will not have been in vain for me.

God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Divine Son 🙏 He is risen! #heisrisen #comeuntochrist #easter2021
Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and we kept trying to figure out to take off layers while also protecting ourselves if we fell 🤣 This is my mom and step dad - my ski buddies who I always go skiing with!
